Hemmings Find of the Day – 1954 Alfa Romeo 1900 SS

Lately, the Friday Hemmings Find of the Day has had something to do with the Six Degrees of Separation topic of the day.

HellaFlush III Meet: In California Of Course

All the cool shit happens in California (except SEMA, but all the cool shit at SEMA is from California). Anyways this past weekend was the 3rd HellaFlush Meet hosted at Blacktrax Perfomance in Milpitas, CA. Apparently the place was packed and there were over 1,500 people who showed up with cameras in tow, fresh Nike Dunks, and crisp dark denim jeans. I’m just kidding on the whole get-up, but I’m pretty bummed that I wasn’t in attendance. I love the Hellaflush, almost-flush,...

Hocker für die Leiche

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1966 Eisert

I admit that I don’t know open-wheel racing history at all, so I can’t confirm or deny that this 1966 Eisert for sale on Hemmings.com really revolutionized the sport.
